The Court clarified that the verification expenses shall be borne by the candidate making such request. However, the expenses will be refunded if the EVMs are tampered with.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In 1961, the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 was passed, and in 2013 VVPAT&#8217;s were introduced by an amendment. In <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Subramanian Swamy<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Election Commission of India<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/e1DOs42q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2013) 10 SCC 500<\/a> the Court directed the ECI to introduce VVPAT in EVMs for the very first time. Thereafter, ECI issued circular which mandated that VVPAT shall be universally used at all polling stations in all future elections to Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies conducted using EVMs. ECI also issued a Manual on Conduct of Elections with EVM-VVPAT along with a series of Circulars and Instructions. The present set of petitions challenged the procedure, where the Election Commission cross-verifies EVM votes with VVPATs at five randomly selected polling stations in each constituent assembly. The ECI argued that counting all VVPAT paper slips manually would be prone to &#8216;human error&#8217; and require labour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Association of Democratic Reforms v.
